History of Digital Marketing

Over the past few years, there has been a major shift in the way businesses market themselves online. In the early days of the internet, businesses relied heavily on traditional marketing techniques, such as print ads and TV commercials. However, as consumers have become increasingly reliant on digital devices, they have started to consume media in new ways. As a result, businesses have had to adapt their marketing strategies to keep up with the latest trends.

 In Australia, we have seen a number of changes in digital marketing over the past few years. One of the most significant changes has been the rise of social media marketing. As more and more Australians join social media platforms, businesses have realised that they need to be active on these platforms to reach their target audience. Another major trend has been the growth of mobile marketing. With more people using smartphones and tablets to access the internet, businesses have had to make sure that their websites are optimised for mobile devices. As digital marketing evolves, we can expect to see even more changes in the way businesses market themselves online.

Digital Marketing in 2022

 It’s safe to say that digital marketing is here to stay. In fact, with the continued growth of social media and other digital channels, it’s more important than ever for businesses to have a strong online presence. While the basic principles of effective marketing remain the same, the digital landscape is constantly evolving. As a result, businesses need to be adaptable and proactive in order to succeed.  

It’s impossible to say with certainty about the future of digital marketing. But according to the current trends, we’re in for a lot of changes and surprises in the market. With AI and chatbots taking over the internet and rising in popularity, they could be used as a method to market to the customers. With over 3 billion active users, social media is one of the most powerful tools at a marketer’s disposal. In 2023, we can expect to see more businesses using social media to connect with customers and create engaging content.
